Z WARN NG o RISK OF FIRE
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this dryer, comply with the basic warnings listed below. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal
injuries. You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow these Important Safety instructions:
PREVENT FiRE
• Do not dry items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene, waxes, etc. Do not • store these items on or near the dryer. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or • explode.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer, items contaminated with cooking oils • may contribute to a chemical reaction that could
cause a load to catch fire.
• Do not dry articles containing rubber, plastic or similar materials such as bras, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic bags and pillows that may melt or burn. Some rub-
ber materials, when heated, can under certain circumstances produce fire by spontaneous
combustion. Clean the lint screen before or after each load.
The interior of the dryer, lint screen housing and exhaust duct should be cleaned approximately every 18 months by qualified service personnel. An excessive amount of lint build-up in these ar- eas could result in inefficient drying and possible fire. See Care and Cleaning.
• Do not operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, damaged or missing. Fire hazard, over- heating and damage to fabrics can occur.
Do not obstruct the flow of ventilating air. Do not stack or place laundry or throw rugs against the front or back of the dryer.
Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or near dryer at any time.
Do not use fabric softeners or products to elimi- nate static unless recommended by the manu- facturer of the fabric softener or product.
Do not continue to use the dryer if you hear squeaking, grinding, rubbing or other unusual
noises. This could be a sign of mechanical breakdown and lead to fire or serious injury. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/ or damage to the rubber or plastic parts of the dryer.
PROTECT CHILDREN
• Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.
• Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other pack- ing materials after the dryer is unpacked. Chil- dren might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.
• Keep laundry products out of children's reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on product labels.
• Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the dryer door to prevent ac- cidental entrapment.
. Failure to comply with these warnings could
result in serious personal injuries.
important Safety instructions, continued
Safety
PREVENTINJURY
• To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation, the dryer must be installed and electrically grounded by a qualified service person in accordance with local codes. Installa- tion instructions are packed in the dryer for the
installer's reference. Refer to INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for detailed grounding proce- dures. If the dryer is moved to a new location,
have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified service person.
To prevent personal injury or damage to the dryer, the electrical power cord of a gas dryer must be plugged into a properly grounded and polarized 3-prong outlet. The third grounding prong must never be removed. Never ground the dryer to a gas pipe. Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug.
ALWAYS disconnect the dryer from the electrical supply before attempting any service or clean- ing. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or injury.
Do not use any type spray cleanser when clean- ing dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical
shock could occur. To prevent injury,do not reach intothe dryer
if the drum is moving. Wait until the dryer has stopped completely before reaching into the
drum.
PREVENT INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE
DRYER
All repairs and servicing must be performed by
an authorized servicer unless specifically rec- ommended in this Use & Care Guide. Use only authorized factory parts.
o
Do not tamper with controls. Do not sit on, step on or stand on the dryer. Do
not rest heavy loads on top. The dryer is not meant to support weight.
Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed to the weather.
A thermal limiter switch automatically turns off the motor in the unlikely event of an overheated
situation (electric dryers only). A service techni- cian must replace the thermal limiter switch after
correcting the fault. Failure to comply with these warnings could
result in serious personal injuries.

Normal Operating Sounds
You may or may not hear the following sounds from your new dryer:
A. WATER VALVE The flow of water is controlled by
electric solenoids. During operation there may be a clicking sound as the valve opens and closes to
control the water flow.
B. SUSPENSION ROLLERS The dryer drum
is supported by a set of suspension rollers. At times there may be a thumping or rolling sound when the dryer starts. This may happen
if the dryer has not been in use for a period of time, or after a heaw load has remained inthe dryer drum for an extended period, creating a temporary flat spot on the edge of the
roller. The noise should dissipate as the dryer operates and the flat spots smooth out.
C. PERFECT TUMBLE TM When the reversing-
action option of perfect tumble TM is selected, you will hear the intermittent sound of the dryer stopping, momentarily pausing, then restarting in the opposite direction.
D. AIR FLOW SYSTEM Your dryer is equipped
with a high volume air handling system. In some installations there may be some sounds associated with air movement throughout the dryer, including the air duct, blower, and exhaust system. This is normal and can vary with load size and type.
E. GAS VALVE (Gas models only.)The flow of gas is
controlled by electric solenoids. During operation
Operating instructions
there may be aclicking sound as the valve opens and closes to control the gas flow.
R
GAS BURNER (Gas models only.) When the
burner is operating, there may be sounds
generated as the air flow mixes with the gas flame. This noise is normal and will only occur
when the gas is ignited inthe combustion tube.

Instructions
Operating Your Dryer
BEFORE USING YOUR DRYER
Read the important instructions in this section of the Use and Care Guide before operating your dryer.
OPERATING YOUR DRYER
1. Prepare load for drying.
, Dry items of similar fabric, weight and con-
struction in the same load.
, Separate dark items from light-colored items.
Separate items that shed lint from those that attract lint.
• Check for stains which may not have been removed in washing. Repeat stain removal process and wash again before drying. Dryer
heat may permanently set some stains.
• Place delicate or small items in a mesh bag.
(Mesh bag not included.)
• Be sure buckles, buttons and trim are heat- proof and won't damage the drum finish. Close zippers; fasten hooks and Velcro®-Iike fasten- ers. Tie strings and sashes to prevent snag- ging and tangling.
.
Check that the lint filter is clean and
in place.
• A clean lint filter allows the dryer to operate more efficiently.
3. Load the dryer and close the door.
• Load items loosely. The average wet load will fill the drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to
tumble freely for even drying and less wrinkling.
• If desired, place a dryer fabric softener sheet on top of the load at the beginning of the cycle.
• To save energy and time and avoid uneven drying and wrinkling, do not overload the dryer.
• When drying large items, dry only two or three items at a time. Fill out the load with small and
medium sized items.
• For delicate or very small loads, add two or three similar items to improve tumbling action.
.
Select the appropriate cycle and settings for each load.
• Turn the cycle selector knob in either direc- tion to select the cycle desired. The icon for that cycle will be illuminated and if the cycle description feature is turned on, the cycle and estimated cycle time are displayed on the User Interface screen for 5 seconds. Press any key
